Last week I was in London, Glasgow, Paris and Madrid. The evenings were long and balmy in the approach to the summer solstice. This was the view from my hotel room in Glasgow at 10.45pm...
Early this morning in the cold hue of a reluctant winter dawn I walked to Balmoral Beach, arriving just as the sun crested the horizon in a dazzling display of golden light.
The solstices foretell of the impending change of seasons. I always welcome the winter solstice in the knowledge that summer is nearer with every day.
